What is the method of making handmade paper kites?

Preparation materials/tools: newspaper, scissors, bamboo stick, adhesive tape, rope.

1 first of all, you should be familiar with the structural preparation materials of kites.

Choose a light-colored newspaper and draw a square on it. Cut out a square with scissors or a hand knife.

3. The square is at right angles, and the bamboo stick is placed on the vertical diagonal to form the spine of the kite. Long bamboo sticks are used as spine and short bamboo sticks as beam bones.

4. Place another bamboo stick horizontally as a beam bone, perpendicular to the spine. Put it on the top half of the paper, not on the other diagonal. The beam should bisect the spine vertically. Fix the intersection of two bamboo poles with rope and tape. It's stronger with all-purpose glue.

5. Garlic then connects the four endpoints of the spine and the beam with a rope, fixes it on paper, and cuts off the paper outside the bamboo stick. At this time, it should form a diamond.

6. After the basic outline of the kite is completed, the center and four corners are reinforced with adhesive tape.

7. Make a small hole around the intersection of the beam bone and the spine.

8. Pass the rope through the four holes and connect them. Don't tie them too tightly. This constitutes the lifting line of the kite.

9. Install a piece of cloth at the tail of the kite as the tail. Tails can enhance the stability of kites.

10. Connect a long rope to the lifting rope and use it as a flying rope. The tail end of the flying line is wound on the kite shaft.
